An attempt was made the other day at
Robertson. tennessee, to blow up prohibit
tion speaker with dynamite. He was speak
ing in a church, and the cartridges were
placed behind the speakers stand. This is
the fourth attempt the present year to silence
prohibitionists by violence. The other three
resulted in murder, but this one did no dam
age except to the church. If the saloon men
were in their right mind, they would see
that hundreds Of prohibition speakers UNI
molested can do little to rouse public senti-
ment against them compared with one pro-
hibitionist slenced by the shotgun or the
dynamite cartridge. But whom the gods
wish &C destroy they first make mad.

her room, when a burglar put his
hand over her mouth, kissed her
and said: "keep still, sis; / won't

house, when, with a polite "good

able article of value in the room,

hat behind, and it was hung in the

a clew. The family then retired,
and the burglar returned and stole
his hat.

THE FIGHT EOsS s-.sAR
The N Company Wins
"a Point.
The Austin Reveille says:

. | Inc cay
The Manhattan Silver Mimi.
Company pays off their employee.
today with silver certificates. iii,
amount of the pay roll is $27 500
the largest sum that has been pa, ID
for a number OF years. The h.sto y
of getting three silver certificate is
interesting, in that it knocks in the
head, the story circulated by the
present Administration, tina. the
| certificates will not circulate and re-
main burden upon their hands.
Let the people have them and there
will be no complaint made by them,
as their burdensome qualities. As
heretofore mentioned in these col
umns, Manager L. j. Hanchett in
tends to secure silver certificates
and pay his employees with them.
Why? Because he believes that it
is the duty of all mine owners to
honor the white metal, making a
demand for it, and to make good
his resolution, he has for the last
two pay-days gathered all the silver
certificates he could possibly obtain
In San Francisco and Chicago and
distributed them to his men accord
ing to their wages. What is the
result? He is showing an example
to the residents of the State and to
the mine owners, that to place sill
yer on par with gold the people
must make demand for it and pre-
fer silver certificates to gold notes
aud National Bank notes, by using
1t entirely. Nevada produces a
great share of the silver bullion, OBJ
tained in this country, then why
should not these companies pay
heir debts and men by silver coin,
n small amounts and by silver GER
ificates in large amounts. Is there
my reason for our mining compan-
es to produce the silver and use
,old as their money.
Mr.. Hanchett telegraphed to
chicago to r. E. Whipple the Presi-
lent OF the company to send here
w 900 in silver certificates for the
uly payroll. Mr.. Whipple obtained
III the available certificates in Chi
ago that could be had, which was
%, 900 two thousand less than the
amount and yet the Gov
rnm ent complains that they will
OF circulate The other two thou
and are greenbacks and bank
otes. Does it not look as if there
we're great conspiracy in which
he Treasury Department and Ma
lonal Banks were leagued together
Or the dethronement of silver?
If there is no conspiracy, then
ny is it that S. HI. Brooks declin-
l to Issue the certificates from the
of San Francisco
Mr.. II anchett, saying that he
ad no orders from the AGministra-
on? It is shameful war against
liver. The Comstock companies,
hose pay roll amounts to over
larter of a million every month,
lould follow the lead of the
arhattan Company and pay
certificates. 1t would create an
lmense demand and circulate
EN- all over the coast and prove y
yond a peradventure of a doubt .
at their friendship for silver is "
al-not professcd. The stand
ken by the Manhattan Company
regard to silver certificates cam
It be to highly praised, is worthy :.
emulation by all the companies
the State and deserves the sup
rt and help of this whole com
unity to encourage them in their r
W effort for our precious silver. y

PROHIBITING EVERYTHING

If late press dispatches are bona fde. and there is no reason to sup pose that they are not, Grand Mas ter Workman K. of l.. Terence Vim cent Powderly has been smitten again with the prohibiting fever.
 It has been next to impossible to take up q newspaper during the past two weeks without finding some powerful weapon of the Knights prohibited for the future by the G. NJ. W. Thus, last week. the mani festo was against political action the K. of l.. must not be drawn into politics. This week strikes are prohibited, and the boycott is demolished in a circular to the 'capitalistic press, Mr. Powderly's reason for prohibiting the "boy- colt" as stated by himself, is, tAat "he hates the word boycott" which ought to be quite sufficient for the thousands of Knights who realize that it is their only available means of temporary relief.
 If MT. Powderly hates thing, il must go-that settles it. What 5 terrible catastrophe would result il the Grand Master Workman should suddenly take a notion to "hate" the earth. We can see no alterna. tive-the earth would have to go And the inhabitants? Those pool creatures who were not caught III in chariot of fire with the C.. NJ W. during the last act, might tloa aimlessly on forever in the realms O space.
 By the way, where was Terenc during the late masterly effort c "49?"

the most part liable to return Social ist candidates.
 To those of our readers who are unfamiliar with the manner of car rying on the elections in Germany it may be explained that if on the reg ular election day there are more than two candidates in q district and neither of them secures q majority vote over all, there is no election. In this event the two candi- dates having the largest. number of votes are again in the field, and are voted for in supplementary cleo tlon. Thus, by reference to the foregoing special dispatch, it will be seen that sixteen, and probably nine teen Socialist candandidates will have another chance for election. The supplementary elections take place on the third day of next month.

LIEBkN ECHT.

No matter what the capitalistic press may say, our readers can de- pend upon it that Bismarck and the Socialists consider the result of the German elections a victory for the working people-the Socialistic La bor Party. The gain of half q mil lion votes speaks more loudly than the actual election of candidates ill the stronger districts. It is possible that owing to the outrageous perse- cution of Socialists by the govern ment, they may lose a few represent atiyes. Certain 1t is that Bismarck will spare neither poodle nor brute force to accomplish his ends.
 The places in which supplement- ary elections are to be held are for
